Visit to LLMD

Today I had my 2nd visit to the LLMD and got my blood test results back.  I tested positive for lyme from Igenex which I already knew and have been getting treated w/doxy now for over a month.. I also tested positive for Babesia.. However, my Dr said she isn't going to treat me for that yet, and is going to wait a month until my next apt. to treat it.. She said its a mild case according to the blood test titer, and that the high dose of doxy I was previously on (currently building back up to it) might have treated it somewhat also... I just don't understand why she wouldn't want to treat it right away and at the same time as the lyme.. any ideas?

Hi hezzer926.  Do you have copies of your test results?  It is always good to get them.

What dose of Doxy are you taking?

Babesiosis is simliar to malaria.  It needs to be treated with an anti-malarial (often Mepron) together with certain antibiotics (Zithromax, Biaxin, or Ketek).  I have not heard of Doxy being used to treat it.

I called the dr today and told her i was having the air hunger and I didn't understand why I'm not being treated for babesia yet when we know i have it.. i didn't get an answer, and she just up'd my dose of doxy to 400 mg again and said this should help..just don't get it
